Good call cali hahaha

it's so nice to do that sometimes...

sorry Cali. I love you, but how do you make that call? Unless you have a super user account???? LOL You have no pair and no draw, it would appear. That poor man probably busted up his computer, and quit poker!! ha ha

Well..............
We havent heard from him since so you may be right! All I know is that after that play people folded to me for a very long time!!
Im so glad your back!! Ive missed you!!

What are you like.......????

I can't possibly comment on this hand.....the title says it all....!!!!!!





Ohhh I can't help myself........If I don't say it now it will just roll about in my mind in a mass of confusion........dear oh dear.....how lucky are you......???

I understand the 600 in on the flop, you get to limp your blinds and betting out on the flop shows that you have hit a nice part of it and you may just get the pre-flop limper off the pot and steal them blinds with ya' over 1 card.

However the second.....THE SECOND he comes back with an all-in raise you have just got to get yourself off that pot there and then.....

I wouldn't of made that call in a buck game let alone a $20 game. His play pre-flop worked out perfect for him and he gets near on an ideal flop......I know it wasn't for all ya' chips but 1100 in to protect 600 with no hand is as I'm sure your aware not dangerous play but reckless play.....yes that right Calli.....I said reckless.....!!!!

I can't say nice one, good hand as it was bloody awful......however I am glad still that you won it........friendship and poker, their funny old things....!!!!

Donkey...!!!!!

I'm going to defend Cali's play...a little...


I'm not saying I think it's a great play but I think it looks worse because we can see the opponent has Aces.

Much depends here on what we've seen and think of the opponents play.
I_am_Shake (1900 in chips)
At 200 BB's he's in need of chips soon.
He's in first position and has to pay the blinds over the next two hands after this.

CalifNaughti (5490 in chips)
-200 BB = 5290
-600 bet= 4690

I_am_Shake (1900 in chips)
-200 call = 1700
-1700= allin

When I_am_Shake bets allin Cali has 4690 chips.
The pot stands at 2800 and Cali needs to call 1100
- the pot is offering just over 2.5 to 1 odds.

Cali still has got 3580 left if she loses.
If she wins she's in a great position to cash.

It certainly looks like the opponent has a hand.
I'd think he had ..ok it's a folding hand isn't it

but..
ok, there's a small chance he's hit 2nd or 3rd pair on the flop.
He's playing a draw or an Ax.
Maybe he's made moves like this before?
Maybe he's lost chips recently?
We sense some desperation and call with possibly a 3 to 1 chance of
hitting something and knowing that with a good result we are in line for a win and with a bad result we are still in the game with a stack large enough to work with.

It's a donk(ish) gamble but we've seen worse plays I think

Ohh I'm just being awkward and giving another side to the hand.

I think a fold is probably the right choice but I just thought I'd give some reasons why a call might be a move you could decide to make in that situation.
I was just seeing what people might think.
